CHAPTER III DISCUSSION 1.1. Summary of The Story The story began with a scene where a lighthouse guard named Tom found a woman named Atlanna, Princess of Atlantis, who was banished because she often visits the surface world and originates from the continent of Atlantis that is thrown to the beach by storm waves, and saves her from danger. Then he brought the woman to a lighthouse, and made the lighthouse their home, they fell in love and had a child named Arthur. Arthur was born having the power to communicate with sea creatures. And Atlanna, her mother, was forced to leave the family and returned to Atlantis, entrusting his loyal adviser Vulko. Then, Arthur became a skilled soldier but was rejected by the Atlantis because he became a descendant of half humans. One year after Steppenwolf's invasion, Arthur faced a pirate led by Jesse Kane who had hijacked a nuclear submarine. Kane was killed and his son David Kane vowed revenge on Arthur. Arthur discovered the Trident of Atlan artifact that was once owned by the first ruler of Atlantis. They were surrounded by troops from Orm, Mera and Vulko escaping while Arthur was arrested. Orm visited Arthur announcing Atlanna was executed because the crime of having a human child, blaming Arthur for his death. Then he offered Arthur the chance to go forever but Arthur challenged the duel on the underwater lava ring. Orm almost killed Arthur and Mera finally saved him. Arthur and Mera headed to the Sahara desert to open the holographic message leading to Sisila, and finally they found the coordinates of the trident. 12 13 Arriving at their destination, Arthur and Mera were attacked by a trench but managed to dodge and they headed for an uncharted sea located at the center of the earth. And there they were unexpectedly reunited with Atlanna. Arthur faced Karathen and voiced his determination to protect Atlantis and the surface, and reclaim the trident that gave control of the seven seas. Arthur defeated the Orm but chose to save his life and accepted the fate after finding Arthur rescuing their mother, then the Atlanna returned to the surface united with Tom. While Arthur ascends the throne with Mera on his side. 1.2. Analysis of The Story The writer will analyze the movie with several parts. The first part is analyzing the type of struggle, then analyzing the physical struggle and without the physical struggle of the main character. 3.2.1. The Kinds of Struggle In Main Character of This Movie To analyze this section, the writer refers to (Weber, 1985) theory, namely by analyzing the struggle in this movie into two forms, namely physical struggle and non-physical struggle. The writer chose the theory because the writer found clear evidence in the movie and the writer more easily identified it. 1. Physical Struggle Physical struggle is a struggle that uses power to achieve the desired goal. Physical struggle can also be helped by tools or weapons if the circumstances permit. The writer found three scenes that was felt to be in accordance with the physical struggle carried out by the main character in this movie, such as the following. 14 Figure III.1 Arthur fight with Orm Arthur : Finished, leave it up your troph. Orm : Compassion is not our way. Arthur : Maybe you don't realize brother. But I do not like you. Orm : Do it! Kill me. (On the ship - min 02:06:42 – 02:07:08) In this scene, Arthur has got a trident stick, and Arthur has also separated the war between Atlantis and the Royal Brine. Then the Orm still could not accept that Arthur became king of the sea, and Arthur returned to fight with Orm to take the throne. And finally, the Orm lost this battle and Arthur wanted to take his throne. But the Orm did not want to give it and Arthur wanted to kill him at that moment his mother came over and said stop because he is Atlanna’s child. The aim of Arthur was that he wanted to reclaim the Atlantis royal throne occupied by Orm, which Arthur should have. But because Orm did not recognize that Arthur was the King who deserved to lead Atlantis because he was not pure blood, Arthur therefore seized forcefully by fighting. 15 Physical struggle can be used as a way to quell crime. It can be a person that opposed is a bad person, or commit a crime against someone else, so it is fine if he is opposed by violence. This struggle is done so that other people do not feel disadvantaged because of the crime of the person. Figure III.2 Arthur fight with David Hyde Arthur : Am I supposed to know who you are. David Hyde : I scavenge the ocean, you are Aquaman, we will meet at one point. Arthur : Let’s make it not happen. (Inside the submarine - min 00:17:58-00:18:31) In this scene, Arthur first starts his struggle. Arthur rescues the crew who are being hijacked by David Hyde and his father. This struggle was not easy for Arthur because he had to fight two people who used weapons, but Arthur could defeat him with all his might. And in this scene Arthur is also hated by David Hyde because he has failed his mission to hijack the ship. The aim of the main character in this scene is to rescue the crew who were hijacked by David Hyde and his father. 16 Fighting involving the physical usually uses weapons to support the fight. But what is used must be a balanced weapon because if one of them only uses blunt weapons and the other uses a weapon that can injure the enemy in long distance, his name is not balanced. Physical battles can also be based on a feeling of dislike of bad things, for example dislike of the actions of people who hurt others. So this physical battle was used to defend the injured victim. Figure III.3 Arthur meets Black Manta Arthur : Who are you? Black Manta : Maybe this will remember you. Arthur : You're a man from a submarine. Black Manta : That’s right,but now I have Atlantis armor, call me Black Manta. (In Italia – min 01:28:11-01:29:11) In this scene Arthur and Mera are in a village in Italy. At that time the Orm still wanted to return Mera to Atlantis, then Orm asked for help from King Ricou to trace the place where Mera there and ask for help from the troops of King Ricou to return Mera to Atlantis. Then the King of Ricou forces came to meet Arthur and 17 Mera. then he fights Arthur by using weapons from Atlantis. Arthur at that time was almost killed by the king of Ricou's army but he managed to dodge, and was able to fight the army of King Ricou. And at that time, Arthur knew that the bracelet wore by Mera could be traced from Atlantis and immediately destroyed.Arthur's goal in this scene is to save Mera from David Hyde's attack which has turned into Black Manta, and he has the intention to lay his revenge on Arthur because Arthur let his father die during the previous submarine incident. Black Manta was also sent by KingOrm to bring Mera, his fiancee, to go home because Mera escape from the kingdom. In physical Struggle, there are usually several strong internal factors, one of which is revenge. Someone who feels revenge, usually does not hesitate to kill his opponent to satisfy his heart. Physical struggle occurs with sudden times and usually people who avenge do not care about the condition of the opponent who is ready to fight or not. 2. Non-Physical Struggle Non-Physical Struggle is a struggle that does not use violence and it is done in a good way. Non-Physical struggle can also be interpreted as a struggle that relies on 18 thought or logic. The writer found evidence that the main character did a non- physical struggle in the following way. Figure III.4 Arthur with Vulco Arthur: Vulco, when can I meet my mother Vulco : Soon, my prince. When you’re ready, I’ll bring you to atlantis to meet the Queen (In the ocean - min 00:40:07 – 00:40:25) This scene tells about Arthur that meets Vulco. Vulco is a trusted person from his mother in Atlantis who was sent to meet Arthur who was on the surface. When he meets Vulco, Arthur is taught how to swim well and teaches good martial arts because Arthur has been given strength by his mother. Therefore, Vulco helped Arthur to maximize the power inherited by his mother, so he deserved to become the king of Atlantis. And at that time Arthur asked when he could meet his mother and Vulco answered if Arthur was ready, he would immediately deliver him to Atlantis to meet his mother. Arthur wanted to ascertain whether he could still meet his mother because all this time he had only been accompanied by Vulco stories about his mother, without meeting face to face with Atlanna. Non-physical struggle can be done in various ways whether it is mediation, or through the person's own mind. Because the essence of non-physical struggle is not to use force, then this struggle is rather difficult to observe. As in the movie, non- physical struggle is done by waiting in patience. So, someone who struggles like this will not do anything beyond his patience, for example, constantly demanding what he wants.
